First Irish festival to be held Saturday in Ridgefield Park

Enjoy traditional Irish music, a Gaelic football tournament, food and beer trucks and a fundraiser at the first Bergen County Irish Festival, hosted by The Council of Irish Associations of Greater Bergen County.

TELL ME MORE: The event will kick off with an outdoor Catholic Mass, followed by a day of activities for both kids and adults: inflatable castles, pony rides, face painting and presentations on poetry and monologues in the Arts & Literature Tent. Food trucks – including crowd favorites Callahan's Hot Dogs and The Empanada Guy – will sell a variety of eats, from Thai food and fish and chips to waffles and Italian ices and more; two beer trucks will also be on-site with a nearby seating area.

Visitors can also pay to participate in Dunk for Danny, a dunk-tank fundraiser benefiting the family of Bergen County Police Officer Daniel Breslin, who suffered serious injuries while on duty in April.
